This is another simple concept that will be very effective if you can pull it off. I think this will be a great resource to the town the people could watch in years to come. It seems like you have chosen a range of participants for inclusion in this film. As I don't know these people feel like I don't really understand what it is that they are going to contribute to the film.
Are you planning on asking the same questions to every participant? What happens if they all give you the same answers? Think about what you hope to get from each of them and include this in your script.
The visuals you have included in the script show that you are thinking carefully about what will be seen on the screen while we hear from our participants. It would be great to see that detail in all the scenes.
Scene 6 includes some particular shooting techniques - this is something we will need to look at this week together.

Perhaps consider getting your interviewees to tell a story rather than ask a question (ie tell me about a time you kicked the sock around etc…it gets a different response
Although you can’t 100% script for an interview, it would be good to have a rough theme for each of your interviewees ie Len Interview around the theme of …..We also need to see what is contained in the flashbacks
Before gaining approval to shoot this group must:
- Redraft script, complete with details of questions and visuals.
- Create storyboards and have them approved
